This is a bedroom of a small plantation. The bedroom is a private place where only the family is supposed to go. Also the bed sheets are red which is showing some of the wealth that they have. There would be a room for parents, room for girls, room for boys, and a guest bedroom. The beds in this time had a rope that would support the bed, they would have to tighten this everyday so they did not end up laying on the floor.
-parlor (2)
This is one of two parlors in this time they would have a parlor for the men and a parlor for the women. In this room they would talk either before or after something like a meal. The parlor compared to something like today would be like a living room. This would be a very formal room that you would want your guests to see.
-Dish/laundry room(1)
In this room the dishes and laundry would be done. They would have a fireplace in the back so they could boil water and put it into buckets and wash there things in it. It would not be a room that would be very fancy because nobody would be in there except you and if you have a slave that works for you.
-kitchen(2)
The kitchen is important so they could have a good meal so they didnt starve. They would have a fire in there and in the back they have a rack that would be used to hang pots so they can make soups or stews. They would also have a kitchen for inside and sometimes outside. they would have very basic tools some what like things we might have in the kitchen today.
-dance hall(1)
In the dance hall there would be a few couples. They would line up in the hall men on one side women on the other. They would stand across from there spouse or date. On the side were the guys stand would be a portrait of the king. On the side were the women stand there would be a portrait of the queen.
-servents quarters(1)
Servants quarters where important for many reasons. They are important because they needed to have well rested slaves so they do good work. They wouldn't be very fancy but they put some red in there to show that they have the money to do so. They would want to have a nice comfortable place for the slaves to sleep so they would be well rested to do work the next day.
-pantry(1)
They pantry would be used to store dried goods. Also might be able to store bowls or pans. Examples of things that would be in flour,sugar, and maybe dried meat if it is almost ready to eat.
-Fine china cabinet(1)
This cabinet would be used to store nice bowls and plates. They would use these bowls when they had company over so they could show there wealth. These bowls were expensive and very nice to show your money. They would only use this type of dishes when they had guests over so they could impress them.
Garden(1)
This is a garden that might have been on a small plantation. It isn't anything to fancy and they might have had a garden to walk through or just a plain garden for growing different small plants. Some of the more wealthy people would have had a more formal garden that would be for taking guests outside instead of keeping them in the house.
Tobacco barn(1)
Tobacco barns would be very important for this time. They would be used to hang the tobacco so it could dry. If they didn't have tobacco barns and grew tobacco they would have the risk of it getting wet and they would lose a lot of money. Tobbaco was a very important product then because it was very expensive and the people that grew it where usually the people who had a nice house and a lot of land.
Field(3)
Fields where used for everything thatthey had to grow that couldn't have been grown in the garden. If someone was wealthy the would have a slave that would work in the fields for them. In the feilds they would grow mostly tobacco because it was the most expensive crop thatthey new of. Later on in colony life the discovered indigo that became a popular crop also. They would need more than one field especially for tobacco because with tobacco it needs to be transplanted to another field.
